After upgrading to #Android 15 I was tracking down this bug in #Conversations_im where the color of the text in the status bar sometimes doesn't change with the app theme. Occasionally I would get white status bar text on top of a light theme.
Then I noticed that other apps - including the clock app! - have the same issue.
I'm absolutely convinced that the engineers working on Android are all using iPhones. I mean how does one not notice issues like that?

Since Android 12, my Firefox has a similar problem. I always thought it was because of it not getting the switch from light to dark theme or vice versa because one force close and restart later it's fine again. But that's not the whole story as the chrome inside the app follows the system theme. It's just the status bar. I can only imagine that that's only set at app startup once and never touched again. Or not runtime changeable at all.

I just wanted to let you know I just updated my CalyxOS install to the Android 15 base and I'm not experiencing any problems like this. Is there anything in particular you've noticed that triggers it, or can you just not read your status bar sometimes?
